In the fast-evolving sector of horticulture, the reliability and efficiency of electrical installations are not just conveniences but necessities. At Wieland, we understand that modern greenhouses and vertical farms rely heavily on advanced technology to thrive. That’s why we’ve dedicated ourselves to developing power distribution solutions that exceed the standard, like our industrial electrical connectors and pluggable electrical connectors, ensuring that your horticultural projects are safe, flexible, and sustainable.

The Challenge of Modern Horticulture

Nowadays, in horticulture, electrical challenges are faced with a view toward high IP ratings to guarantee power distribution under changing environmental conditions. The demands for safety and operational reliability are higher than ever. Traditional wiring systems lack the potential to provide the required flexibility or safety for increasing plant growth and productivity, setting the stage for more advanced technologies.

The RST® System: A Game Changer in Horticultural Electrics

Enter the RST® system by Wieland Electric—a comprehensive power distribution solution designed to transform horticultural operations. This system includes several components tailored to meet the needs of modern horticulture and vertical farms:

• RST® MICRO, RST® CLASSIC, and RST® MINI: These components offer a versatile range of industrial electrical connectors and pluggable electrical connectors designed to ensure a secure and scalable electrical infrastructure. They are also waterproof against corrosion, hose-directed water, and prolonged submersion.
• Touch-Safe Technology: Our industrial electrical connectors and components like RST20i3 Green are designed to be completely safe to touch, eliminating risks during maintenance or system reconfiguration in greenhouses. They have a consistent installation across projects with pre-fabricated cable harness made-to-order.
• Easy Installation and Maintenance: The RST® system reduces installation time dramatically thanks to its plug-and-play nature. Vertical farm systems can be expanded or modified with RST16i3 due to minimal downtime and maintenance is straightforward, installation time is five times faster than conventional pipe and wire. Expansions and charges are also easy due to the reusable parts.

Unparalleled Benefits of Pluggable Solutions

Our RST® system provides significant advantages over traditional electrical installations:

• High Protection Ratings: With IP66, IP68, and even IP69 ratings and type 4X/6P, our products are built to withstand the humid and wet conditions typical of horticultural environments without compromising performance.
• No Openings Required: The design eliminates the need to open LED or HPS luminaires on-site, simplifying the processes of installation and maintenance.
• Efficient Power Distribution: The use of our ethernet network switch capabilities integrates seamlessly with overall system management, ensuring reliable energy distribution and networking across your installation.

Featured Products and Innovations

Among our standout offerings is the CONNECTOR MOLA®, a revolutionary device connection utilizing spring-clamp technology compatible with the RST® MINI system. This modular solution allows luminaire manufacturers to integrate pluggable industrial electrical connectors effortlessly, enhancing the flexibility and safety of installations.
